To our valued customers & the greater Albury community.
We’ve had a number of concerned customers reach out after seeing recent media reports about Priceline Pharmacies. Thank you sincerely for the messages of support — we truly appreciate it. We want to reassure our community that Priceline Pharmacy Albury is not going anywhere and we remain fully committed to serving Albury for many years to come.
Some of the headlines circulating are quite misleading. The media reports relate to a specific group of pharmacists who own multiple pharmacies across different brands and are currently experiencing financial difficulty. These matters do not impact Priceline Pharmacy Albury or the broader Priceline Pharmacy network across Australia.
As many of you know, Priceline Pharmacy Albury is locally owned and operated by Amanda Ward, and is completely independent of the group of pharmacies referenced in the media.
We would also like to clarify some common misconceptions. Wesfarmers does not own Priceline Pharmacies. Following its acquisition of Australian Pharmaceutical Industries (API), Wesfarmers operates as a pharmacy wholesaler and franchisor. Under Australian pharmacy ownership regulations, community pharmacies must be owned by registered pharmacists, not corporations .
Our thoughts are with the pharmacies, staff and communities affected by the current situation, and we hope their challenges are resolved as soon as possible.
As for us, we have exciting plans ahead for Priceline Pharmacy Albury and are incredibly grateful for the continued trust and support of our local community
